MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - The Big 12 Conference has announced that senior swimmer Bryce Bohman has been named the Big 12 Men’s Swimmer of the Week.

This marks the third time that Bohman has earned the award. He first earned it on Oct. 23 and won his second award of the season on Dec. 11.

The Moline, Ill., native posted first-place finishes in five of his six individual events over the past two weeks, while also setting the pace for two 200 medley wins with his solid opening splits in the backstroke.
